This nifty tool is designed for annotating data for the COINS Named Entity Recognition (NER) model. Acoin keeps things simple. Its purpose is to serve as a straightforward annotation tool, given that other options are either paid or far too complex for my needs.
Acoin has it's own annotation syntax. There are 5 labels to use: COMMAND, OPTION, INPUT, NUMBER, STRING. The syntax for labeling word(s) is as follows: [WORD](LABEL). Each annotation is seperated by a newline character (\n).
Just like headers in markdown, you can section off your annotations using #. You may also write comments that won't effect Acoin by starting your line with //.
A few example annotations:
// this comment won't effect Acoin at all, so feel free to write whatever!
